Not so much stoking the rumor fire, but just curious, IF HA is a possibility at all, what’s the strategy? Another defensive move that requires selling off assets in order to remain single fleet type? Keeps us from being cash rich and puts a nail in the coffin for potential acquisition? Somehow forces United or someone else to consider a merger? A way to push back against SWA in HA?

Just don’t know enough about HA to see why the juice would be worth the squeeze.

You can guarantee there will be some BS about taking the best things that HA does and making it our own. DON’T BELIEVE IT!

Alaskan, that's what the majority of the people living in eastern two thirds of the country call us anyway.

They do serve water onboard via an aluminum bottle vs a glued together box.

Serious question, what did change with the new TA and commuting policies? Im considering AS but always heard the commuting rules were poor, and I'll be commuting from LAS so its a priority. I have UA already with LAX and SFO, but their rules arent great compared to DL being able to select open trips before starting LC/SC reserve. Any thoughts what I might be looking at?

2 flights on any airline and we have a hotel policy where if you have a early show or get done late the company will provide a hotel

I wouldn’t count on the temporary hotel policy hanging around.

The cultural difference between Hawaiian (with an N) and Alaska (without the N FOR SURE) will never let this fly.

It ain’t happening. Southwest or UA. Those are the only ones I see possibly going down. But those are a far possibility as well. Alaska has no clue how to run two separate entities, which Hawaiian and AS would have to be run as.
